• Partner with Technology, Risk, Compliance, and Audit to support periodic reviews, risk assessments, attestations, and remediation efforts for Legal‑owned data and tools.
• Perform and/or coordinate verification checks to confirm Legal data is correct and coherent (e.g., key field completeness, consistency across sources, and alignment to defined data standards).
• Coordinate data remediation and ongoing maintenance activities (data quality monitoring, issue triage, corrective action tracking, and validation of fixes), partnering with data owners and Technology as needed.
• Identify control gaps or documentation gaps and support resolution by driving follow‑ups, evidence collection, and updates to inventories/standards.

Contract Platform Ownership

• Serve as the business and operational owner of Legal’s internal contract storage and contract data platform.
• Develop in‑depth knowledge of contract data models, metadata standards, and critical contract attributes.
• Own platform issue management, including intake, troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and coordination of fixes or enhancements with Technology.
• Drive contract data remediation and ongoing maintenance (e.g., metadata clean‑up, de‑duplication, reclassification, and periodic reviews) to sustain data integrity and platform performance.
• Partner with stakeholders to improve usability, reporting, and adoption through targeted enhancements and clear support processes.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience in Legal Operations, contracting, compliance, risk, data stewardship, or adjacent operational roles.
